• Contribute to the development and adoption of digital engineering tools and processes to enhance product security throughout the system lifecycle.

Security of Facilities, Equipment, and Resources:

• Ensure the security and integrity of all facilities, equipment, tools, data, networks, and resources utilized throughout the product lifecycle, including design, development, build, test, storage, delivery, operations, and support phases.
• Develop and enforce policies and controls to protect these assets from cyber threats, unauthorized access, and insider risks, maintaining a secure environment that supports the GMD program's mission assurance.
• Collaborate with physical security, IT, and operations teams to integrate cybersecurity measures with facility and resource management practices, including securing test environments and simulation tools used during system integration and readiness activities.

Threat Analysis, Intelligence, and Risk Management:

• Lead continuous monitoring and analysis of the cyber threat landscape specific to missile defense ground systems, including advanced persistent threats (APTs) targeting the GMD program.
• Develop and maintain a structured repository of identified threats and vulnerabilities, perform comprehensive risk assessments, and formulate effective mitigation strategies to reduce cyber risks across all program phases.
• Provide actionable threat intelligence and risk assessments to senior MDA leadership, Boeing program management, and other stakeholders to inform defensive strategies.

Security Requirements Development and Cybersecurity Compliance:

• Lead the development and analysis of complex product security requirements, ensuring they are comprehensive, traceable, and aligned with government and industry standards.
• Manage cybersecurity compliance efforts, including overseeing NIST Risk Management Framework (RMF) processes such as obtaining Authority to Operate (ATO) and Authority to Connect (ATC) to maintain continuous certification and mission assurance.
• Define and identify product security requirements for suppliers and subcontractors, ensuring their seamless integration into Boeing's GMD products and services.
• Ensure product and process conformance to project plans, DoD cybersecurity mandates, NIST standards, RMF processes, MDA-specific security requirements, and other relevant industry and regulatory frameworks.
• Lead certification and accreditation activities, coordinating with government agencies and external auditors to maintain compliance and mission assurance.

Cybersecurity Operations and Testing:

• Lead cybersecurity test planning and execution in support of system integration and readiness activities, ensuring realistic threat scenarios are incorporated into test events.
• Collaborate with SITR test teams to validate security controls and system resilience under operational conditions, analyzing test results to drive remediation and continuous improvement.
• Lead the development and execution of cyber test events, including penetration testing, red team activities, vulnerability assessments, and cyber resiliency tabletop exercises tailored to GMD operational contexts.
• Validate security controls and incident response capabilities to ensure mission assurance under cyber attack conditions.

Leadership and Team Management:

• Responsible for management of staffing levels, performance valuations, performance development and career counseling.
• Lead cross-functional/cross IPT cybersecurity teams supporting the GMD SITR program, providing technical guidance, mentorship, and fostering a culture of security excellence.
• Guide the professional development of junior, mid-level, and senior engineers, contributing to the growth and capability enhancement of the PSE/C team.
• Provide technical leadership across multiple programs or business units, influencing enterprise cybersecurity policies and practices.
• Control Account Management (CAM) of the team budget
• Responsible for deploying Boeing Engineering Initiatives and best practices, as appropriate, for improved quality and efficiency

Stakeholder Engagement and Collaboration:

• Serve as the principal cybersecurity liaison among Boeing engineering teams, MDA program offices, government customers, suppliers, and industry partners.
• Collaborate closely with internal and external stakeholders to integrate security best practices into system engineering, software development, operational procedures, and supply chain management.
• Engage with senior government officials, industry consortia, and Boeing enterprise leadership to drive cybersecurity standards, regulatory compliance, and risk mitigation strategies.
• Work closely with the SITR program office, test organizations, and government readiness teams to ensure cybersecurity requirements and risks are addressed during integration and test phases.

Innovation and Continuous Improvement:

• Lead complex research and development initiatives to innovate and enhance product security capabilities, addressing emerging threats and evolving operational requirements.
• Identify opportunities to improve security processes, technologies, and digital engineering methodologies to strengthen the GMD program's cybersecurity posture.
• Drive improvements in cybersecurity test methodologies and tools used in SITR activities.

Consultation and Advisory:

• Provide expert technical recommendations to program and enterprise leadership on cybersecurity risks, solutions, and strategic opportunities.
• Advise customers on maintaining product security and certification, including managing the security implications of system modifications and upgrades.
